Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
I originally picked up this book because it was part of the Penguin Classics miniseries called Legends from the Ancient North, curated because each of the five volumes contributed to J.R.R. Tolkien’s creation of Middle Earth. You may or may… Read More ›
The Atlantis Code, Charles Brokaw
Well, well, well. Here we are. Finally. At the beginning of a series that will, in all honesty, encompass many different types of posts (reviews, essays, rants…) and spread across a number of years. Today we are talking about the… Read More ›

American Assassin, by Vince Flynn
Now, I’m going to tell you straight: I have read American Assassin before. 2016, in fact, around about October. I’m also going to be honest and say that while I remembered enjoying the book, I also remembered very, very few… Read More ›
The Tulip Virus, Danielle Hermans
